Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Kornblume, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 3rd floor) to minimize noise from the Hebbelstraße, which can be busy with traffic and pedestrians. Additionally, rooms on the north side (side of the hotel away from the main street) are likely to be quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms 101-103 and any rooms near the service entrance, as they may experience noise from the staff and deliveries.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address does not offer any notable views of the surrounding city or nearby parks.
Quietest floors
Floors 5-8 are likely to be the quietest, as they are away from the street and lift noise.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's proximity to Hebbelstraße means that rooms on lower floors may hear traffic and pedestrian noise, especially during rush hour. The lift is also a potential source of noise, especially if it's located near a room.
Insider tips
Check-in is available from 2 PM, but it's best to arrive between 3-5 PM to avoid any delays. Also, consider requesting a room with a key card instead of a physical key for added convenience. If you're driving, be aware that there are limited parking spots available on site, and street parking options may fill up quickly. Consider using a nearby car park or public transportation instead.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Potsdam Hauptbahnhof → Babelsberg Park / S Babelsberg
💡 From the hotel, walk 5 mins to S Babelsberg station. Tram 94 stops right there – it’s faster than the bus for the film studios.
S Babelsberg → Potsdam Sanssouci Park
💡 This bus runs along the park’s edge – hop off at Schloss Sanssouci stop for the shortest walk to the palace entrance.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) → Potsdam Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a single ticket for Berlin ABC zones – covers your journey and local onward travel. Validate it before boarding.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) → Hampton by Hilton Potsdam Babelsberg
💡 Pre-book with Taxi Potsdam or use the MyTaxi app for a fixed fare. Avoid unofficial drivers at the airport rank.
Potsdam Hauptbahnhof → greet Hotel Potsdam am Park Sanssouci (stop: Am Kirchsteigfeld)
💡 Bus 605 runs through the Bornstedter Feld district; get off at Am Kirchsteigfeld — the hotel is a 2-min walk. Same ticket works for the RE1 from Berlin if you buy a multi-zone day pass.
Potsdam Hauptbahnhof (tram stop: Hauptbahnhof / Lange Brücke) → greet Hotel (nearest stop: Max-Dortu-Platz, then 10-min walk)
💡 Tram 91 is scenic — it passes the Dutch Quarter and the Alter Markt. But the walk from Max-Dortu-Platz is uphill and not well signposted; better to take bus 605 unless you enjoy a short leg-stretch.
Potsdam Hbf → MAXX by Steigenberger Sanssouci Potsdam
💡 Buy a single ticket from the red machine at Potsdam Hbf (coins or card). Validate it onboard – fines are €60. The tram runs close to the hotel entrance.
S-Bahn Griebnitzsee → MAXX by Steigenberger Sanssouci Potsdam
💡 If you're coming from Berlin city centre by S-Bahn (S7 to Griebnitzsee), switch here to bus 638 or 639 towards 'Potsdam, Schloss Sanssouci' – drops you opposite the hotel. Cheaper than RE1 for short hops.
BER Airport → MAXX by Steigenberger Sanssouci Potsdam
💡 Buy a Berlin ABC day ticket (€10.70 for 2024) to cover both the RE1 train from BER to Potsdam Hbf and the tram. From Potsdam Hbf take Tram 92 or 96 to 'Schloss Sanssouci' stop – hotel is a 3-min walk.
Berlin Hauptbahnhof → Potsdam Hauptbahnhof
💡 Get the Potsdam ABC day ticket at the station — for €7.20 you cover the RE1 plus all buses/trams within Potsdam, including the 605 bus from Potsdam Hbf to the hotel.
BER Airport → MAXX by Steigenberger Sanssouci Potsdam
💡 Book with TaxiFun Berlin (app or phone) for fixed rates around €45-55. Avoid unlicensed touts at arrivals.
BER Airport → greet Hotel Potsdam am Park Sanssouci
